lets go back to a time
you didn't watch the minutes of your days pass by
when you were young and everyday
had something new to learn, to think, to offer you
you spend your days playing games, not looking back
not thinking what the future brings
you felt so free and had your peace
and thats the way you always wanted it to be

what you want and what you get
are very very different all right
and all the dreams you dreamed at night
soon will fade away in the daylight
and little by little you take away
the kid in you that wants to stay alive
it seems the more you swim you sink
and it seems like a waste to try and find

now you say that you can't take it
you can feel your heart breaking
and I think that your just waking
up from the nap you've been taking
and you don't know what you can do
and I don't know what to tell you
cause I've got all my problems too
how does that sound to you?

Lets take
everything we can
its the least that you can do
it's not stealing anyway
its taking back the things
they stole from you

tick tick tick
the bloods so thick
its hard to tell what games they play
chip chip chip
with the chisel and pick
to slowly work your life away
its not the way its gonna be
to really know our enemies
its not really any different though
I'm afraid it might be you and me

and now
you say
you've taken all that you can take
but you don't know how to change
and you don't know what you can do or say

you've already said enough
to make a change
just the words coming out of your mouth is all it takes
so write it down
scream it loud
put it in song
all day long

never felt that you fit in
the world has something wrong with it
you're right (X2)

life should mean more to you
and you should mean more to you
its true (X2)

now you know how you can live
and now you know what you can do
so fight (X2)

your listening to the voice again
the one you lost when you're a kid
its you (X4)
